I love spending time with friends, family, and my rescue dog Leonard. I love being outdoors and active as much as possible. Some of my favorite activities include snacking at the top of mountains, running, and spending time in my home gym.

What do you like to do outside of work?
I try to get outside as much as possible! I'm an avid hiker, backpacker, and long-distance runner. I love to climbing mountains and I'm so excited to explore all the big peaks in Colorado! I've raced several marathons including the Boston Marathon and done one 50k trail race. I will try pretty much any outdoor activity at least once!
